[prMac.com] Zwijndrecht, Belgium - Galarina today is pleased to announce the release of PhotoMeta 1.0, a brand new iPad app. EXIF, GPS and TIFF metadata tags of any photo are available in a wink. The pinch-and-zoom map gives an extra dimension to geotagged photos.
PhotoMeta goes the extra mile by supporting camera maker specific metadata (a.k.a. makernotes) for photos of the most popular camera brands, including Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Sony.

Any photo available on the iPad is supported:
* Photos synced via iTunes
* Photos imported with the Camera Connection Kit
* Saved photos
* Metadata can be extracted from internet photos with the built-in web browser

"Support for makernotes and having the possibility to extract metadata from internet photos is really interesting for a lot of photographers" said Chris Cornelis, founder and CEO of Zwijndrecht, Belgium based Galarina. "Being able to easily compose a list of favorite metadata tags is a nice extra."

If possible, PhotoMeta calculates additional metadata automatically. Depth of field and hyperfocal distance are just two examples.
A photographer can choose to either have basic metadata info displayed in a clear overview panel or to see all metadata tags in a self-explanatory list.

Pricing and Availability:
PhotoMeta 1.0 is a free app that shows the basic metadata and the location map for geotagged photos. An in-app purchase of $2.99 (USD) uncovers all metadata. PhotoMeta is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photography category.

"For us as a German iOS developer, prMac is essential. We need exposure in the US and at the same time need a good press release written by a native speaker. The price for the full service is almost a joke, a similar service is like 4x the price here in Germany. What surprised us most is the quality of the service. They went through the app, included all our extra info and the website content and absolutely nailed what the app is about. Even if we knew perfect English and knew the format of a press release we couldn't have made it any better. And even better, it felt like we were personally cared for, not like a clinical mass service. Now we have a text we can use for most future press release, can use for our website and use parts of it for other occasions. And even if the target of using their extended release wasn't to sell apps directly, sales already got a bump that justified the price alone, so we will use it for all major updates, no question. You think this sounds to good to be true? It sure does."

"When we need to get the word out to the Mac community, we always use prMac. We get better results than trying to manually contact the press. And Ray's expert editing eye has caught more than a couple potentially embarrassing grammatical errors."
